Just out of curiosity, says the cat...
If the antenna system is mismatched would that affect the actual
power usage or just the output power?

Manu,
The power consumption is the same regardless of what type of antenna
you attach..
A higher gain antenna may extend your range, but there are a few
factors at play here. A higher gain antenna will exhibit a better
range than the lower gain antenna as long as you're transmitting in
the beam of the antenna. For example, a 15 dBi omnidirectional
antenna will have a great range as long as the signal is coming in the
horizontal plane, and it may show considerably worse performance for
the signals that are coming in at an angle of 15 degrees off the
plane.
If you want to increase the transmit power, you'll need to investigate
power amplifiers, but those are not easy to integrate.
Best regards,
Rob

Hi,
I am using an antenova antenna(titanis) with a typical gain of 4.1 dBi, I
wanted to know does the mote consumes more power with an external
antenna( I
think power consumption remains same and it is transferring the same
power
to the antenna as it was to the internal antenna).
Also how can I increase the transmitted power?
So if a use a antenna with 15 dBi gain then my range will become much
better
and my power consumption will remain same.
Thank you
Manu Suryavansh
